    yes and you dont need a press just use the bolt and a deadblow hammer to reinstall the ring gear then take em out lock tight them and reinstall all of them. make sure you have an impact gun to cause the two i have were invaluable in the job.

    Yes, it can be done at home. I did mine over the Saturday, there is no need for the press if you are installing lockright. The only item that needs (semi pressing) is ring gear but as somebody pointed out you can get it ON with hammer. Better yet before you install back, the ring gear put it into oven and heat it up for metal to expand. It will go onto carrier much easier. :thumbsup:
